one of us must know sooner or later

Bob Dylan

I didn t mean to treat you so bad
You shouldn t take it so personal
I didn t mean to make you so sad
You just happened to be there, that s all
When I saw you say goodbye to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well understood
That you d be comin back in a little while
I didn t know that you were sayin goodbye for good

But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you re supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you

I couldn t see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn t see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin with you or her
I didn t realize just what I did hear
I didn t realize how young you were

But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you re supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you

I couldn t see when it started snowin
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn t see where we were goin
But you said you knew an I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin me, you weren t really from the farm
An I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm

But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you re supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
